BREAKING NEWS: Ravens head coach just announced his departure in…
The Patrick Mahomes-Justin Tucker feud isn’t going away, and it’s apparently nothing new, either.
Mahomes, days after he was involved in a bit of an altercation with Tucker ahead of their win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game, finally responded to the Ravens kicker. According to Mahomes, he and Tucker have a bit of a history.
The incident in question took place before the Chiefs’ 17-10 win over the Ravens on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium. Mahomes was seen multiple times kicking Tucker’s ball holder out of the way when the two were trying to warm up ahead of the conference championship game.

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce then got involved, too. After Tucker set his helmet and two balls near the same spot on the goal line as before, Kelce walked over and tossed everything to the side to clear a path for Mahomes.
After their win on Sunday, Mahomes and the Chiefs will advance to the Super Bowl to take on the San Francisco 49ers. Though the conditions inside Allegiant Stadium will be much different than they were outside in Baltimore last weekend, expect 49ers kicker Jake Moody to take warm-up kicks at both ends of the field come Super Bowl Sunday.
Brady deflects report 49ers wanted him to start at QB over Purdy originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
It doesn’t appear an NFL return was in the cards for Tom Brady this season.
The veteran quarterback, who played 23 NFL seasons, officially retired after the 2022 season and was linked to San Francisco as a possible destination should he decide to play one more year.
Second-year quarterback Brock Purdy told ESPN’s Nick Wagoner earlier this season that coach Kyle Shanahan assured him he would be the team’s starting quarterback in 2023 unless San Francisco was able to lure Brady out of retirement.
“This has been the longest journey,” Veronica said while hugging her son. “He was on the worst team. I’m so happy. We are going [to the Super Bowl] and I’m so proud of him. I’m so proud of him.”
Williams spent his first nine NFL seasons with Washington after being selected with the No. 4 overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft. It was there that he first met Kyle Shanahan, who was his offensive coordinator and Chris Foerster, his offensive line coach.
While the 35-year-old left tackle did appear in two playoff games with Washington, it lost both wildcard matchups. Williams did not experience the divisional round of the playoffs or a conference championship game until after he arrived in the Bay Area.
